"More of You" is one of my oldest songs, but has been a solid part of my sets ever since I started playing. This, in plenty of ways, is a companion piece to "Tired of Love" in terms of topic. I wrote this when I first moved to New York at 17 years old and lived 3,000 miles from one of my very first girlfriends. I was living alone in a studio on 1st and 1st in the East Village and spent every night trying to convince her to move out to New York and live with me, even though I knew she was still in love with her old boyfriend and would sneak away to see him on the weekends. It's a song about loving someone in that simple youthful way where you can't be without them, even if they may not want to be with you.

Lyrically, it's very raw and unformed, in a great youthful way. It's a song directly to this girlfriend across the country, and at the same time, to whoever might be next. It's my young, young brain trying to shape what it means to pursue something better for myself, even if I (deep down) I wanted to stay with this girlfriend, even when she was still in love with someone else.

On an unrelated side note, this is the song that all people, of all shapes and sizes, find amusing to sing at me while imitating my voice (i.e. Bryan Carter and others). I'm not entirely sure why, it just grabs a hold of people and makes them do this, for better or worse. I would say worse.
